Chapin Pre-engineering Magnet Program
Chapin Magnet offers a specific set of classes that specialize in Engineering. There are five engineering courses offered at Chapin and only those who meet requirements and enroll before high school can attend these classes. This specialized school allows students from all over El Paso to attend Chapin and take these courses hence the term "magnet". Students are required to take Advanced Placement maths and science courses, as well as the five engineering classes. Upon completion of each course students may pay a fee to get credits towards college. At graduation all engineering students who have passed all five classes receive engineering honors and special cords to wear.

Famous quotes containing the words magnet and/or program:
“A healthy soul stands united with the Just and the True, as the magnet arranges itself with the pole, so that he stands to all beholders like a transparent object betwixt them and the sun, and whoso journeys towards the sun, journeys towards that person. He is thus the medium of the highest influence to all who are not on the same level.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
““Why visit the playhouse to see the famous Parisian models, ... when one can see the French damsels, Norma and Diana? Their names have been known on both continents, because everything goes as it will, and those that cannot be satisfied with these must surely be of a queer nature.””
—For the City of New Orleans, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
